Airlines recognize ATP’s Regional Jet Training as certification by ATP that you are a professional aviator, capable of passing their strenuous airline training. Ask any pilot who has completed ATP’s regional jet training, and you will hear that it reduced stress and improved performance in airline ground school. The bottom line is that Regional Jet Standards Certification ensures that you are best prepared to enter the airline pilot job market.
Commercial Pilots ready to start an airline career can now receive advanced jet training and enhance their ability to achieve their overall goals. The Regional Jet Standards Certification Program introduces pilots to Swept Wing Jet Aircraft flying, systems, and navigation in order to prepare pilots for fast paced airline training.
“ATP's Regional Jet training program is a grueling airline preparation program that introduces general aviation-trained pilots to the rigors and pace of airline training. This reduces stress and improves performance in airline new-hire training”

Description
Regional Jet Standards Certification trains pilots on Regional Jet systems common to both Bombardier and Embraer Regional Jets, FMS navigation, airline-level Crew Resource Management, airline standard operating procedures, and includes 24 hours of FTD flight experience and CPT instruction plus ground school. Prior to arriving at the simulator training center, students must complete at least 40 hours of home study using materials provided upon scheduling.
Pilots begin training by attending an aircraft systems/FMS ground school where they learn and master the latest glass cockpit technology found in Regional Airline aircraft:
- Flight Management Systems (FMS)
- Electronic Flight Instrumentation Systems (EFIS)
- Engine Indication and Crew Alerting Systems (EICAS)
- Advanced Regional Jet Aircraft Systems
- Internet-Based CRJ-200 Systems Course
The topics covered use the CRJ-200 as a base aircraft, but are presented in a manner that allows for the primary principles to apply to many regional jet aircraft and some turbo prop aircraft.
Next, pilots undergo 24 hours of training in a CRJ-200 FTD and CPT to apply and perfect the ground school knowledge. All FTD instructors have extensive FAR Part 121 airline experience.
At the end of training, pilots must fly the CRJ-200 FTD to Airline Transport Pilot standards during an evaluation conducted by the Regional Jet Program Director or a senior Check Airman. If completed successfully, pilots will receive a certificate of completion for inclusion with airline applications and resumes.

RJ Standards Testimonial
Today I completed and passed the week-long Regional Jet Standards Certification program. From start to finish, it has been an excellent experience that will definitely benefit at the airlines. On top of getting an introduction to flows and call-outs, seeing how an FMS is set-up and programmed will give me a nice head start in airline ground school. Also, the networking you are doing with the regional carriers is very much appreciated. I started training with ATP in the Private Pilot Program and then Airline Career Pilot Program. After building experience as a flight instructor and completing the RJ Program, it’s easy to see that from the first hour with ATP, they train you to be an airline pilot. Thank you!

Regional airline pilots teach all classroom-style ground school and FTD sessions. They bring you real-world experience from flying the line in modern regional airliners. As a pilot in the Regional Jet Standards Certification program, you will greatly benefit from the teaching, mentoring, and networking opportunities provided by ATP's RJ instructors.
ATP’s CRJ-200 Flight Training Devices are more than just cockpit procedures trainers. These FTDs fully implement all systems on the CRJ-200 aircraft and have an FAA-approved flight model. Combined with a projection visual system, our FTDs offer maximum realism.
Seniority is everything—
get there first with ATP.
